Event Details
A fierce beast has descended upon the village, devouring anything in its path…
It is said that this is the Ancient Legend known as “Nian Beast,” a ferocious creature which is afraid of loud noises and the color red.
In order to protect the village, Shang-Chi and his partners will fight against Nian Beast together…
Event Rules
- Finish missions to win firecrackers. Firecrackers can be used to deal damage to Nian Beast.
- Players can earn a maximum of 300 firecrackers each day.
- Rewards will be unlocked when the combined damage from all players reduces Nian’s health to the following breakpoints:
80% Health: 200 Credits
40% Health: 100 Gold
0% Health: Sword Master Lunar New Year Avatar - The leaderboard rank will be determined by total damage dealt. In the case of a tie, the player with higher in-game rank wins. Top 10 of each regional leaderboard will obtain:
A title: “Not a Puny Mortal!” - This event will end 1/30 6:59:59 (UTC 0) or 1/29 22:59:59 PT.

Lunar New Year Bundle
More things could be lined up for the Lunar New Year in 2023, including the upcoming Festival Fireworks Bundle that should go on sale starting from January 22.
We are yet to know how the Sword Master Lunar New Year variant will be distributed to go along with the avatar, whereas the Jubilee variant can be obtained by purchasing the bundle.

Conclusion
Similar to the preceding Hype the Hero! event, this is another low-commitment event that players can expect to earn all the rewards, though this time the top 10 players from each region can also earn an exclusive Title that they can show off. Players are expected to just play games, win or lose, and encourages you to play with one of the four cards. All of them are accessible and are good cards in their respective decks!

OMG OMG SO AMAZING! 200 credits and 100 gold ! OMG OMG OMG /sarcasm off
Don’t forget the Leaderboard title. Such prize. /s
Such a shame, I play almost exclusively on the steam client, and since it doesn’t show anything in the news tab, I generally don’t bother with web events.
I hope they add the news tab to the steam client soon, or go from web events to in-game events (which is apparently a thing they’re working on, if I am to believe the roadmap they released)
